What's the time McGraw?

Meet Foxy McGraw.

He wears my watch when I'm not wearing it.

He's got a polystyrene head and belly, the rest is strong wire and newspaper; legs, arms, ears, tail, etc. 

After lots of layers of brown paper and glue and he's ready to paint and finally accessorise.

I used thin wire for whiskers and claws and marbles for eyes

....and now he's ready to try on his new watch!

Bill

This is Bill.

I made him a while ago. If these guys are to share my house I like them to have a job.

Bill keeps the lighters for the candles.

He has lovely curly hair (thanks Will) and very sharp teeth...

but he's mostly in a good mood so it's ok.

Lights on!

Hello!

I've updated my website and added lots of new photos!

This is little monster I made after the base of my lamp broke...

if it's broke ...fix it!

Little imps!

 

...too yummy to resist!

                                                    

Love stripes

A drawing I did a few moons ago! Hope you've had a great weekend x 

Happy days!

*Congratulations*

to my best bud Caroline and her husband Dave! :)

Being a bridesmaid I had a few duties to carry out....

anything for my dude!

So a few drawings and even more 

cups of tea later (thanks Dave!) 

Caroline fell in love with the mice 

and so I began to draw! 

 With 'travel' as the theme of the wedding

the mice in the hot air balloon 

became the invites for the big day!

The mice became the feature for the top of the  
very delicious cake! 

Made with wire, paper and glue
(as not to weigh down and damage the cake) 

and painted with the fitting colours of the wedding
the little mice cake toppers are something my friends
can keep as a reminder of their special day!

Thanks for a wonderful day!! x

Let's have a picnic!

 Let's have a picnic!

It's great to see the sun out, I hope it's sunny where you are!?

This is an illustration I did for my Aunt as a gift for my cousin and his wife's new baby! Congratulations!

Her name and date of birth were engraved on the tree. It's nice to be able to personalise a present for someone, it makes it special, just for them.

Hope you have a lovely weekend! x

The little things...

Hey!

Hope you had a great weekend! Just a quick pic with my new pen! It's so fine, great for small details! Silly to be excited about a pen...ah sure, it's the little things!

What was that?

Hey, this is a silly doodle I did last night in two seconds!Sometimes I think of things and I just have to draw them!  I even see people like cartoons and I have to draw them too!  Inspiration is everywhere! This drawing might not make sense at first then you realise what it is! Daft! 

Hope you have a great weekend! x x

I lost my phone number can I have yours?

....give it up mate!

I haven't posted anything for a while, opps!

I drew this last week. She's showing off all her best bits (maybe a little too much!) and he's trying all his best lines to get her attention! Though she does not look very impressed! 

I hope you've had a good week so far. I've been drawing, making stuff out of polystyrene and looking after my sisters cat and chickens!

hey you FOX!

hey you FOX!

Sometimes I plan drawings and take ages over them 

but sometimes the quick and simple doodles are just as nice! 

These little cute foxes were on a card I made. 

I can't believe it's FRIDAY again... already!!

Have a great weekend! x

Hello...!

Flora wants to say  *hello* .....but she's a bit shy!

She put on her best dress and made a SIGN!

It's ok...

Don't be shy Flora!

Brew?

Nothin' like a good book and a cup o' tay you can stand on!

(a strong cup of tea)

I'll get the kettle on! x

Two striped arms and two striped legs

I doodled this last night. I'd quite like to make him in 3d with arms and legs that move!

It reminds me of when my friend wore the tubes from the back of a dryer on his arms! The tubes extended and crumpled back up like a concertina! We had hours of fun and took lots of funny photos!!

Hope you're having a nice evening!

I didn't have time...

"I didn't have time to blow dry it so it looked like a hedge"

My lovely friend said this phrase....

(this is not what she looks like though!)

I have a funny book of all the phrases I wrote down at the time!

The market was a great success this week, my colourful cards went down a treat! I hope you had a great weekend!

 Nice to see the sun today! x

See you there!

 I am working on a collection of illustrated cards and prints. These are a few examples of the cards. They are all hand drawn and coloured with pencils and pens. I will be bringing a selection of them down to St. George's market, Belfast where my sisters Christine, Linda and I have a stall at the weekends!
Love to see you there!
 Look out for 3 Crafty Birds!
 Have a great weekend! x

Happy Valentine's!

                     Happy St. Valentine's Day!
               My crazy little friends are standing on a hill, giving you their heart!  Won't you take it?! 
                         Hope you all have a lovely day, whether you celebrate St. Val's or not! x

Go on, get!

"I just like to smile, smiling's my favourite"

A quote from Elf, love that film. Probably too much. 

Watch out little lady!

 Don't do it Mr. Frog!

Poor ladybird! 

I was drawing some frogs for a collection of cards and decided to make a naughty one (the good frogs are on the cards). Just a quick doodle with coloured pencils and black and white pens.

Happy pancake day!
